after little | ventured to inquire
the cause Of his trouble, when the
fountains OF his sorrow were again

Leo LeSquereux was born at Fleu-
rier, Neufchatel, November IS, 1906.
His immediate ancestors were French
Huguenots. His father was manu-
faeturer of watch-springs, and, as was
the custom of the country, wished his
son to follow the same trade. The
future botanist's health being delicate,
however, his mother desired him to
study for the ministry. But the
grandeur of his mountain home had
already sank deep into the impressible
soul of the youth, and circumstances
sealed his preference for another pur
suit. Under royal patronage the
Academy of Neufchatel enjoyed spe-
cial advantages. When the young
Swiss crossed its threshold he met in
the enthusiastic Guyot genial COM
panion. "Guyot and /" said Les
quereux, "were for some years broth
ers in study, working i'll common, and
often spending our vacations together.

or with my parents at Fleurier, and |
owe much in life to the good influence
of this friendship When Lesquer-
eux had completed the Academy
course he went to Weimar to perfect
himself in the German language, pre-
Berlin. To defray his expenses here,
he taught French in young ladies

days of my life, he said. My pupils
were from the noble families of Wei
mar. They were well educated, and
came to me for conversation. / re-
manned ut Weimar for some time.
Then love came, and | went back to
Switzerland, and | never regretted it"
1t was at Weimar that the botanist
met the young woman who became
his wife. She was Of humble fortune
but of noble family, and in early
childhood enjoyed the friendship of
Goethe. Her father was man of
learning, with strong propensity to
science. When the young man was
about to return to his home, the
father. who was setting out in the
same direction, invited him to share
his carriage The marriage was
agreed upon during this journey.
Lesquereux brought his bride to
Fleurier, where, in sight of the lofty
Alpine peaks, he became engaged in
the study of MOSES, and later of
fossil botany. 1t was at this period
that he became interested in peat,
its formation and possible repro
duction. The protection of the peat
boys, the principal fuel Of Switzer-
land, was then matter of great i'm
portanee to the Government of Neuf-
chatel. Lesquereux published some
memoirs of his Investigations, which
attracted the attention of Aoassiz.

NAVY
JOSEPH BOND.

1t appears that when the war broke
out Joe Bond, as he was Familiarity
called, left his home near Lancaster and
entered the navy as a volunteer. How
long he remained is a mystery. He
suddenly disappeared. The scenes of
war and carnage knew him no more; he
was numbered among Grant county's
dead, and his name inscribed on our
monument. After his mysterious dis
appearance he turned up in England
where he soon met his fate in the shape
of buxom English woman, who kept
huckster's shop on one of the popular
thoroughfares Of the English metropolis.
To her other attractions she added the
faculty Of making money They were
shortly married. Together they amassed
sum sufficient to warrant them in
closing out their hucksters establish
ment and with their little girl, Polly,
they sailed for this country and came to
Lancaster, where they bought and set
tied on farm in Little Grant. Bond
read his name on the monument with
tears of real feeling-it all omight

Here they lived for some years, and
when Polly was still child they moved
to Colorado and opened restaurant in
Leadville. Mrs. Bond knew how to
cook, pretty Polly knew how to wait,
Joe knew how to charge, and everybody
in the town knew how to eat--so money
rolled in. They bought a ranch at
Delta, and began to dress and buy pretty
stones that cost money. Here, vixen
Polly was fifteen years old, her parents
entertained the famous English prize
fighter, Charlie Mitchell. Mitchell
fancied the child, and after his return
to England some letters passed between
them until Polly "got mad and the
correspondence came to an untimely
end.
Then Andrew Medium, a miner from
San Juan, appeared and made ;iolent
love to Polly. AT the solicitations Of
Der parents the girl consented to marry

An Arsassng Legdl opinion affecting TIE Interests
ofG former Grant County Girl.
The finale Of surprising little ro-
nance was chronicled the other day by
the Denver Tribune, in the decision of
Judge Rittenhouse in the case of
Andrew Medium Us. Mary Medium,
for reconveyance of property which
Medium had given his wife before they
were divorced. The item which APP
peared in the Tribune might have little
interest for the general public, and little
indeed for the majority of the readers
of the HERALD, but when it is revealed
that Mary Meldrum is none other than
sPolly Bond, who set this town agog
with curiosity last summer, and the air
a-tremble with threatened encounters
between two famous sluggers, who were
both like to die for love of Polly and
from Whom. she had precipitately fed,
the matter presents itself in different
light. The youths Of Lancaster, who
basked in the light Of Miss Polly's
smiles last summer, little dreamed that
she was already Mrs. Polly. There
were rumors and rumors, all of the most
sensational order, and curiosity stood
tiptoe awaiting coming eyents-a bloody
rcncontrc at the edge Of a dark wood,
and the violent abduction Of the fair
prize by the victorious survivor.
On certain day it was said that a
telegram had come from the world
renowned Mitchell, and that he would
be in on the evening train. That night
all the small boys in town were on hand,
and an unusual number Of people await
ed friends at the station. They went
home with unsatisfed longings. 1t
seems that Polly's heart turned toward
Mitchell, and that Sullivan was on their
track Sometimes rumor represented
Sullivan in hot pursuit and about to
leap onto the stage Of action. Polly
had horse and ph@ton-for a day or
two. Polly had a piano-always COM
ing. Polly flashed her diamonds in the
face of the amazed sun,-and suddenly
Polly went away and the excited air
resumed it's wonted calm. Nothing
startling had TRANSFERRED disappointed
curiosity hid its face.
Andnow the real facts stand revealed.
